“The jury of nine whites and three blacks, who last month found Mr. Roof guilty of 33 counts for the attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, S.C., returned their unanimous verdict after about three hours of deliberations in the penalty phase of a heart-rending and often legally confounding trial.”

According to the Times, Roof showed no emotion when the verdict was read, though given his lack of remorse for the murders and the jailhouse manifesto he penned justifying them, the guilty verdict and sentencing was expected.
